Once the first Professor Layton game hit America, this simple hat that was sitting in the back room of a hat store became imbued with the puzzle solving genius of Professor Layton. When the hat was bought, the hat jumped around between users, helping them out when they were in a jam.

Today it is stored in the Pong Section and is occasionally used if Artie or Leena has an issue needing solving. Was consulted many times while Artie was plagued by 'Father Aidrien', but this was a puzzle not even the hat could solve.
